MALLORCA TODAY - Spanair stops flying

Following yesterday's earlier suggestion that Spanair might suspend activities, it was officially announced that at 22:00 yesterday evening the airline would stop flying. The cause is a lack of finance, and the airline looks likely to file for bankruptcy. There is information on the Spanair website and a telephone information service - 902 13 14 15. In Palma, 110 workers will be affected by the suspension of activities. Spanair, in 2011, operated over 14,500 flights to and from the three airports in the Balearics (Palma, Menorca and Ibiza).

Without Spanair, the Balearics stand to lose around 20% of the total number of flights into and out of the islands.
